DESCRIPTION:
The MSK 4801 is one of a family of Plastic Encapsulated Modules (PEM) developed specifically for use in military,
aerospace and other severe environment applications. The half bridge configuration and 600 volt/600 amp rating make it
ideal for use in high current motor drive and inverter applications. The Aluminum Silicon Carbide (AlSiC) baseplate offers
superior flatness and light weight; far better than the copper or copper alloys found in most high power plastic modules.
The high thermal conductivity materials used to construct the MSK 4801 allow high power outputs at elevated baseplate
temperatures. Our proprietary coating, SEESTM - Severe Environment Encapsulation System - protects the internal circuitry
of MSK PEM's from moisture and contamination, allowing them to pass the rugged environmental screening requirements
of military and aerospace applications. MSK PEM's are also available with industry standard silicone gel coatings for a
lower cost option.
